WHAT INTIMACY WILL DO FOR YOUR MARRIAGE
By Bisi Adewale
Every married couple should identify the offshoots of an intimate marriage. They should watch out for them, as soon as you see them departing from your marriage; you should know that drifting has started in your marriage. Don’t wait; do something about your marriage fast.
1. CLOSENESS.
When a man and his wife are close, it simply means they are bonded. They like or love each other passionately. They spend time together doing good things.
2. EASY DECISION MAKING.
Intimate couples find it easy to make decisions. They hardly disagree or they easily agree, because their minds beat as one. When you are fond of arguing with your spouse, it signals lack of intimacy.
3. FRIENDLINESS.
Intimate couples are not just husbands and wives; they are friends. They don’t just love each other, they like each other. They work as friends and operate with a high level of regard for each other.
4. DEEP LOVE.
They have a deep love for each other; they are still ‘crazily’ in love despite their years of marriage.
5. ROMANCE.
Intimate couples are known to be romantic; they enjoy a swell time together.
6. VULNERABILITY.
Intimate couples are known to be vulnerable to each other. They have nothing to hide from each other; no-holds-bar, no darkroom. They love each other and are proud to show and say it.
7. UNITY.
Intimate couples are known to be united. This explains why they can speak with one voice on every issue.
8. VISION.
They are known to have the same vision and strive to achieve it together inspite of whatever hurdle they have to cross.
9. ACCEPTANCE.
They accept each other and hardly complain about each other. They’ve learned not to criticize each other but stand together as one.
10. COMMITMENT.
They are both committed to God, each other, their marriage, their marriage vows, godly parenting, their love and sex life. They serve each other and are ready to make sacrifices.
